It's Pepe who takes it, and it's not too far away. He curls the ball around the wall but it's just wide of the far post.

Spurs get themselves into a mess from a goal kick. They attempt to work the ball out from the back, but a loose touch from Rose allows Lacazette to steal the ball. The full back then takes him out and goes into the book.

Another booking for Spurs. This time it's Lamela, who pulls Kolasinac down. The visitors deal with another corner, but they're being pushed back by Arsenal and struggling to counter attack as efficiently as they were earlier in the half.

Kane finds space to shoot on the edge of the box and hits a low effort towards the bottom corner. Leno, again, can only parry the ball into the path of a Spurs player. Fortunately for the Arsenal goalkeeper, Son is forced wide and has to pull the ball back to Kane, who delays his shot and is dispossessed.

Eriksen tests Leno with a powerful shot from a free kick. It's another good save from the German, who's had a strange game so far.
